Millonarios left it late to beat Junior Barranquilla 1-0 in the Primera A, Apertura, with Rodrigo Contreras scoring the only goal in the 90th minute. The visitors had more of the shots and the better of the chances, while Junior saw plenty of the ball without making it count.
Contreras struck at the death, turning in Andrey Estupiñán's assist to make it 0-1. The match had been goalless until then, with early bookings for Juan David Ríos, Jhomier Guerrero and Jermein Peña, and further yellows for Leonardo Castro, Contreras and Mauro Silveira later on.
The numbers tell a clear story: Junior enjoyed 56% possession and 425 accurate passes, but Millonarios produced 16 shots to their seven, three on target to one, and seven corners to two. Millonarios edged the expected-goals count 0.55 to 0.36 and grabbed the decisive moment when it mattered.
